My dad took delight in telling this story:

He was in the Royal Navy. When he was posted on a ship, sailing mid-Atlantic or some other far-flung ocean, in the Spring, the clocks would be put forward at night (so they lost an hours sleep) and in the Autumn they would be put back during the day shift so they would get an extra hours work out of the crew.

Probably a myth, but if I ever get to run my own warship, that's how it will be.
